Sen. John F. Kerry (news, bio, voting record) (D- Mass.), the top Democrat on the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, recently sent a letter to the head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), Hector Barreto, asking for information on the SBA's spending to promote President Bush's Social Security ideas.

"The Administration has cut the SBA and its resources to our small businesses 36 percent since 2001, the most of any Federal Agency, and spending scarce funding to market the President's Social Security proposals would raise serious concerns for this Committee," Kerry wrote.

Kerry wrote to the SBA after learning that it is one of several federal agencies that has tapped its budget to fund the travel of high-level employees as part of President Bush's "60 Stops in 60 Days" tour to promote his Social Security proposals. SBA officials have already traveled to California, Connecticut, Florida, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia as part of the tour.

2. It's Communist to support an agency

that gives folks a leg up.

Or maybe it's Socialist?
Or maybe it's just plain Red!

3. Remember Chimp SWORE support for the SBA!

Repeatedly, throughout all the debates the Chimp SWORE support for the Small Business owners. The pile just keeps getting bigger, and bigger.

When will it implode?

:banghead:

4. The dude is poking holes in Bush all day long.

I like it- keep it up John- I wanna see your ass ON TV saying this shit too!!!

I love this- but he needs to stop writing about it and start talking about it on TV-(Which he is doing in at least one state with ads now)-so that regular people hear all about this. Some of this stuff is too good to languish on websites and in "letters"-


There is plenty of room for more action- but JFK seems to be turning the screws on the Chimp.

A good day for the Shadow Prez!

5. Boy, the money faucets just turn on full blast to support bush's agenda.

And then turn into a meager itsy-bitsy trickle when American citizens need it.

6. That's the Kerry we want to see.
